Beansmith Coffee - Brazil Carmo de Minas Estate
This new offerring from Brazil comes from the Santa Lucia farm in the Carmo de Minas Estate. The beans are processed as a natural pulp where the coffee cherries are left on the tree and will begin to dry, like a raisin and then be dried on the patios. It makes a great pour over brew and shines in the espresso machine.  Notes of sweet honey roasted peanuts, vibrant lemon acidity and a soft creamy mouthfeel.
